2700 model repeatedly loses wifi connection

[Katherine312]

I have had repeated issues with the deskjet 2700 losing my wifi -- no other issues are happening so it is this printer. Thinking of returning, I can't figure out why it's happening.

The printer may be setup in wifi direct mode at 2.4 ghz but your laptop may be trying to connect at 5ghz or vice-versa

It is also possible when the printer wakes up from sleep, it gets a different IP address and the laptop cannot find it anymore.  This can easily happen if you have a flex system (multiple WIFi boosters)

Page 9 of users manuals shows how to get a network report

Get a printer network report. The PINs and Passwords should show up. Here is the important stuff from a typical printer report. The password shown in WiFi can be the printers PIN or the modem's password depending on how you connected to the modem. The printer can have two bands but the only one that is connected will show up.  The following shows that the SSID of the 2.4ghz band was renamed as ATT-ARRIS-2 .4

In the last column either the PIN or a password will be shown.

LAN	STATUS	IP address	SSID	Password
WiFi	enabled	192.168.1.15	ATT-ARRIS-2 .4	GuessAgain
WiFi-direct	enabled	192.168.23.1	DIRECT-WHATEVER	BadGuess
Wired	disabled
USB	disabled

I recommend you connect the printer to the modem.

You may need to reset the printer to get it out of WiFi direct mode and into WiFi setup mode

This video shows to reset the printer 2700 series.  Do not do a full or complete reset as you might be asked to insert your original setup cartridges which you are unlikely to have.

Once the printer is working for all devices, I recommend you log into the printers EWS page and set the printer so it does not sleep.  Alternately log into the modem, look for the IP4 network address of the printer, and assigned that address as fixed.

Let me know if you need help with that.
